One unforgettable catch in the Super Bowl has made Mario Manningham a hot commodity in the free-agent market.
The 25-year-old wide receiver is just finishing up his four-year, $3.2 million contract with New York.
The Warren native has been linked to a few other teams including the Browns, but Manningham says he wants to return to the Giants next season.
“I wanna come back,” Manningham told ESPN New York. “I don’t know what’s going to happen, but I’m going to try to enjoy this Super Bowl. I’m not really thinking about that right now.”
Even though Manningham wants to return, the question is whether New York wants him bad enough to get into a bidding war for their number three receiver.
Manningham had 39 receptions for 523 yards and four touchdowns during the 2011 regular season. In the postseason, he had 13 catches for 189 yards and three touchdowns.
Manningham hasn't commented on whether he would entertain the idea of going to a team where he could be the number one receiver.
